We propose Hazards&Robots, a dataset for Visual Anomaly Detection in Robotics. The dataset is composed of 324,408 RGB frames, and corresponding feature vectors; it contains 145,470 normal frames and 178,938 anomalous ones categorized in 20 different anomaly classes. The dataset can be used to train and test current and novel visual anomaly detection methods such as those based on deep learning vision models.

Immunoglobulin A deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency defined as decreased serum level of IgA (less than 7 mg/dl) in the presence of normal levels of other immunoglobulin isotypes. Most individuals with IgA deficiency are asymptomatic and identified coincidentally. However, some patients may present with recurrent infections, allergic disorders and autoimmune manifestations, such as diabetes mellitus, Graves disease and celiac disease.

However, the knowledge of fast crystallization dynamics in these materials is limited because of the lack of fast and accurate temperature control methods. In this work, we have developed an experimental methodology that enables ultrafast characterization of phase-change dynamics on a more technologically relevant melt-quenched amorphous phase using practical device structures.

An investigation at the work site showed that the worker had been engaged for 22 years in dusting salami with a mixture of rice flour and talc contaminated with chrysotile asbestos. Thirteen work-mates engaged in the same job were studied.
